• En realidad, me sorprendieron sobre todo los artistas de rap influidos por Sabbath. Eso fue una sorpresa. Pero es muy bonito y me siento muy honrado. Es agradable saber después de 27 años que lo que dije en un principio se ha mantenido, y eso era creer en ello.

  Tony Iommi

• As the times are changing, you don't hear as many sample issues with rap artists. Part of that has to do with production styles these days, but the nature of copyright is also changing as the internet becomes more of a giant.

• One of my favorite things that Yahoo does on a regular basis is this story: "Wealthiest Rap Artists." That's an example of the internet just perpetuating this myth that we're all just sitting around in these mansions like Steven Tyler, bopping around in our swimming pool. It's bullshit.

• Public Enemy started out as a benchmark in rap music in the mid-1980s. We felt there was a need to actually progress the music and say something because we were slightly older than the demographic of rap artists at the time. It was a time of heightened rightwing politics, so the climate dictated the direction of the group.

• I think I'm pretty regular. I try to keep it pretty regular; I go to sleep early. I don't know what distances me from other rap artists - I haven't met a lot of 'em.

• I don't have any sympathy for the subject matter, [but] I have great respect for rap artists. In fact, not for the rap artists, but the people who make the music over which they rap. Rap music - the music itself is incredible - but [the people that make the music] are hardly ever credited.

• Recibo más respeto de los artistas de rap que de mi propia industria. No siempre escribo el tipo de música que quieren los ejecutivos del country. Los raperos también son así... mis palabras vienen de la calle, y las suyas vienen de la calle. Esa música pop tan sofisticada no viene de la calle, es prefabricada.

• You can't expect to be on MTV and critique George Bush. You can't expect to be on BET or the cover of 'The Source' advocating Jesus Christ or Buddha or Hindu Krishna or Moses. As a conscious rap artist, you have to play in the arena that you're supposed to be in. What is that arena? That arena is the college market. The conscious rap artist woos the college market, even though the college market is the wildest, most sexed-out, drug-driven market in the country, possibly the world.

• Nowadays rap artists coming half-hearted,
  Commercial like pop, or underground like black markets.
  Where were you the day hip-hop died?
  Is it too early to mourn? Is it too late to ride?

• It's not that you don't make any money doing conscious rap music. You make a lot of money doing this, but if you're greedy and you're not satisfied with $500,000 a year, and you want $2 million a year, then you will suffer as a conscious rap artist.

• Parece que otros artistas de rap intentan seguir una "tradición", o algo así... No considero que nosotros [Migos] seamos bichos raros, simplemente fuimos por otro camino y no seguimos la tradición del rap. Simplemente lo matamos y lo convertimos en nuestra tradición.

• If you're true to the upliftment of people and the unity of people, raising the self-worth of people, then you live within your means. But the problem is that we're looking at the grass on the other side, saying, "That's greener. I want to be in the thug market, but I want to be a conscious rap artist." It doesn't work like that.
